Canal Del Ronco Colli Orientali Del Friuli 2008

The Friuli wines come across as everything that is good about Italians; easy going, food friendly and in need of love.

My local Bottle shop loves throwing things at me to see if I like them. Well this one has crispness yet is fruity with its lemon sorbet, banana skin violets and wet pebbles. This all sits on a very good length and definitely puts me in the mood for food.

About Me

Ever since travelling around the French countryside I’ve been obsessed with wine. It all began when I was staying with a family in Bordeaux. The father took me down into a dark musty cellar with all these rare gems, he was so excited to show what his region did best and by the end of the week event I was hooked. He pulled out all birth year wines that had aged so gracefully that it transported me back in time. I have been on a journey that has opened my mind to a variety of exciting flavours and textures and I hope that I can share my new experiences.
